Juego del tiempo
We approached the idea of the body as an archive through the corpus of works by
Margarita Bali. In this creation, we worked with the artist on stage, bringing into
dialogue the dancer, choreographer, and visual artist with her own artistic legacy.
We explored recurring themes in her work, many of which reflect her background
as a biologist: birds, jellyfish, the ocean, and corporeal masks; her interest in
architecture and sculptural staging; outer space and humor. We investigated her
works, her body, her memories, and her forgetfulness.
We also engaged with those more personal materials that often remain along the
way in creative processes; images, scenes, ideas; opening a dialogue between her
personal archive and new modes of appropriation.
